Suggest a new class, Smrtr\DataGridFormula. Let objects of this type be assigned to cells as values. Formula objects have a method evaluate which is triggerred by the DataGrid when getting values including that cell, and passes in the X and Y position of the cell being evaluated as well as a reference to the grid for looking up other cell values. The Formula looks up the values, evaluates the result, and passes the result back as the return value. The DataGrid then replaces the formula object with the value in the returned data, without removing the formula from $grid->data.

Some helper methods on the Grid object would be useful too:

• flatten() which evaluates all formulas and replaces the formulas with the calculated values.
• info('formulas') which gets a count of formulas on the grid (this info can be cached on the instance)

there is more that can be done, this is just the groundwork.

It will be useful to have methods on hand which delete empty rows/columns to clean up the grid.

Smrtr_DataGrid => \Smrtr\DataGrid

namespace Smrtr;
$grid = new DataGrid;

$grid->searchRows('slug=joe + name=joe') will not return any results when it should.

Currently if I want to use the searchRows() method on a grid with no column labels then i am in a bit of a bind.

Suggest using some notation to access keys just like we access labels. One such mapping could be /n where n is the key we want to search on.

Example:

$grid->searchRows('/0*=a + /2<50');

i.e. find rows where the first column contains a value containing the 'a' character and the third column contains a value less than 50.

The unit tests should be able to run independently of Zend Framework, to integrate with 3rd party testing services. Some refactoring is required to make this possible.

Implement Serializable on the DataGrid.

Implement two functions, queryRows() and queryColumns(), which search the DataGrid for rows and columns respectively which match the provided key(s).

e.g. $Grid->queryRows(array('first_name'=>'Joseph'))

Need to explore this idea in alot more detail and prototype some ideas at home.

hasValue( $value )

hasValue( $value, $rowOrColumn, $keyOrLabel )

rowHasValue( $value, $rowKeyOrLabel )

columnHasValue( $value, $columnKeyOrLabel )

Method called save which saves the grid to a file. Writes a serialized instance by default and can also proxy to saveCsv and saveJson via a parameter.

Yaml parsing and writing

Here we can call each row by key

$grid->eachRow(function($key, $row){ $row['slug'] = trim($row['slug'],'/'); },true);

Here however, we need to know the actual index

$grid3 = $grid->filterRows(function($key, $label, $row){ // keep top level pages return !stristr($row[0],'/'); });
